Bob, this is a shot in the dark but I just had a DS31580 with exactly the same symptoms and it turned out to be R106 27K 1/4 watt the value had gone up to like 125K. It`s also in a very hard to see spot, in front of regulator IC UNDER R401 a 2 watt resistor, if your set has it, it will be the only "100" series part in the area, all parts around R106 were"400" series parts, I hope this helps, Larry E Larry Eastman American TV & Electronics Crystal River, Fl. 34428 Gemini Computer & TV wrote: > I have a Sanyo AVM3258G that has a weird problem(s) only on the tuner input. > The A/V input is perfect.
